Civil Servants: TikTok

Question for Cabinet Office

UIN HL1972, tabled on 24 October 2024

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Smith of Basildon on 9 October (HL1436), how many civil servants have currently been granted a formal exemption and are approved to have TikTok on Government devices.

Cabinet Office does not collect this data centrally. Where an essential business requirement necessitates the use of TikTok, this is managed through a formal exemptions and approvals process which takes place at departmental level.
